As a result of exposure in a severe storm when about the age of twelve, I experienced a serious illness, which left me in delicate health, a condition that continued during the remainder of my schooldays and for several years after I entered upon the work of teaching. It seemed necessary for me to be very careful in regard to food, to avoid drafts and night air, and to refrain from unnecessary exertion.

My vitality was said to be very limited, and occasionally during the year I was confined to bed under medical care for several days—sometimes weeks—together. A time came when discordant conditions gave rise in me to unkind, condemnatory thoughts, which so intensified my ill health (as I have since realized) that I felt I must have some help more effectual than that received through materia medica.

My attention was directed to Christian Science, and I decided to try it, unknown to my relatives. I was greatly opposed in my course by a friend to whom I confided my intentions, but I secured the help of a Christian Scientist, and faithfully read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. Gradually strength and health were restored, and in the years which have elapsed since I turned to Christian Science for help, no other remedy has ever been employed but that of truth—the truth demonstrated and taught by Christ Jesus, and again brought to the attention of needy mankind by our Leader, to whom the world owes much gratitude; for in proportion as this truth is understood and demonstrated it not only heals disease, but comforts, sustains, purifies, uplifts.
